Let $V$ be the set of $n\times n$ complex or real general matrices, Hermitian matrices, symmetric matrices, positive definite (resp. semi-definite) matrices, diagonal matrices, or upper triangular matrices. Fix $k\in \mathbb{Z}\setminus…

In this work, we develop a unified framework for quasidiagonal and F\o lner-type approximations of linear operators on Hilbert spaces. These approximations (originally formulated for bounded operators and operator algebras) involve…

By Bartle-Graves theorem every surjective map between C*-algebras has a continuous section, and Loring proved that that there exists a continuous section of norm arbitrary close to 1. Here we prove that there exists a continuous section of…

We say that a C*-algebra X has the approximate n-th root property (n\geq 2) if for every a\in X with ||a||\leq 1 and every \epsilon>0 there exits b\in X such that ||b||\leq 1 and ||a-b^n||<\epsilon. Some properties of commutative and…

Let $\phi: \R^d \longrightarrow \C$ be a compactly supported function which satisfies a refinement equation of the form $\phi(x) = \sum_{k\in\Lambda} c_k \phi(Ax - k),\quad c_k\in\C$, where $\Gamma\subset\R^d$ is a lattice, $\Lambda$ is a…

Let $C$ be a unital AH-algebra and let $A$ be a unital separable simple C*-algebra with tracial rank no more than one. Suppose that $\phi, \psi: C\to A$ are two unital monomorphisms. With some restriction on $C,$ we show that $\phi$ and…

We define a symmetry map $\varphi$ on a unital $C^\ast$-algebra $\mathcal A$ to be an $\mathbb{R}$-linear map on $\mathcal A$ that generalizes transformations on matrices like: transpose, adjoint, complex-conjugation, conjugation by a…

The concept of quasi-isometric embedding maps between $*$-algebras is introduced. We have obtained some basic results related to this notion and similar to quasi-isometric embedding maps on metric spaces, under some conditions, we give a…

By a theorem of Gordon and Hedenmalm, $\varphi$ generates a bounded composition operator on the Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}^2$ of Dirichlet series $\sum_n b_n n^{-s}$ with square-summable coefficients $b_n$ if and only if $\varphi(s)=c_0…

Axial algebras are commutative nonassociative algebras generated by a finite set of primitive idempotents which action on an algebra is semisimple, and the fusion laws on the products between eigenvectors for these idempotents are…

We develop a completely bounded counterpart to the non-commutative Choquet boundary of an operator space. We show how the class of completely bounded linear maps is too large to accommodate our purposes. To overcome this obstacle, we…

Gelfand-Naimark duality (Commutative $C^*$-algebras $\equiv$ Locally compact Hausdorff spaces) is extended to $C^*$-algebras $\equiv$ Quotient maps on locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Using this duality, we give for an \emph{arbitrary}…

In this paper we prove that several operator algebras are completely isomorphic to each other; e.g., the $C^*_\lambda(F_k)$, $k\geq 2$, the $C^*$-algebras generated by the regular left representation $\lambda:F_k\to B(\ell_2(F_k))$, are…

In this paper, linear $\varepsilon$-orthogonality preserving mappings are studied. We define $\hat{\varepsilon}\left(T\right) $ as the smallest $\varepsilon$ for which $T$ is $\varepsilon$-orthogonality preserving, and then derive an exact…

Let \alpha:G --> G be an endomorphism of a discrete amenable group such that [G:\alpha(G)]<infinity. We study the structure of the C^* algebra generated by the left convolution operators acting on the left regular representation space,…

The matrix logarithm, when applied to Hermitian positive definite matrices, is concave with respect to the positive semidefinite order. This operator concavity property leads to numerous concavity and convexity results for other matrix…

Let V be a variety of not necessarily associative algebras, and A an inverse limit of nilpotent algebras A_i\in V, such that some finitely generated subalgebra S \subseteq A is dense in A under the inverse limit of the discrete topologies…

We show that a partition of the unity (or POVM) on a Hilbert space that is almost orthogonal is close to an orthogonal POVM in the same von Neumann algebra. This generalizes to infinite dimension previous results in matrix algebras by…

The present paper deals with various aspects of the notion of almost Cohen-Macaulay property, which was introduced and studied by Roberts, Singh and Srinivas. We employ the definition of almost zero modules as defined by a value map, which…

Non-commutative $L^p$-spaces are shown to constitute examples of a class of Banach quasi *-algebras called CQ*-algebras. For $p\geq 2$ they are also proved to possess a {\em sufficient} family of bounded positive sesquilinear forms…
